reminds me of a cabbage patch kid, but the eyes are wrong. You might undress it and see if there are any marks anywhere...

He doesn't have any markings it's driving me nuts! He is just so beautifully made!

I thought so first, but Raggedy andy has a clownish look and a flat face mostly painted. I didn't find one like mine.

A fake version made by another company of a Cabbage patch or Raggedy Ann?

It's amazing how many counterfeit toys are made trying to copy off of a successful company.

That's a Cabbage patch Avatar hybrid!

Have you checked it over really well for any type of label?

 

[Carmatt]

Thank you all for the replies! I think he might just be homemade. He does not have marks anywhere, i bought him at the goodwill for $2.00. Here are some pics of his naked body

It's definitely a copycat Cabbage Patch doll. It kind of resembles the original (pre) Cabbage Patch dolls called "Little People" that were made by Xavier Roberts. Also. they resemble the ones made by Martha Nelson Thomas called "The Original Doll Baby" which depending on who you believe is where Xavier Roberts got his idea for the same similar type of doll. A few years later Xavier Roberts came out with the Cabbage Patch Doll. Here is an interesting read- https://katrina9799.wordpress.com/2011/08/11/who-is-martha-nelson-thomas/

I knew several people that made dolls similar Cabbage Patch Kids, my mother is one of them, it is a hobby. I remember throwing my cousins Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls around. I guess that's where the term rag dolling a person around came from, lol. And they are flat, not puffed up like CPD's or the home made ones.
